Nahum was a farmer, and a house carpenter, in West Bethel and Albany, Maine.
At least twice in the early part of the 20th Century, the Oxford County area of Maine suffered severe loss of life from influenza epidemics.
One of the worst occurred in October 1918. Local ambulances were on the road day and night through the towns of Norway and Paris. Schools, churches and theatres were all closed as precautionary measures. The schools re-opened 28 October, after the declaration of 25 October that the epidemic was "conquered."
Then, another epidemic swept through the area during December 1932 and January 1933, claiming many lives. One of those who died in that epidemic was Nahum. Melissa died from breast cancer.
